Sune Execution Speed

[Stefan]

Sune's pronounced as "Soon-eh".

No it's not (the "oo" part is wrong).

 

[Jai]

So .. it's Su-neh?

 

[KConny]

Lars Petrus "found" it and started calling it for Sune. It a common name in Sweden.
Here are the sunes I know:
Sune: R U R' U R U2 R'
Anti-Sune: R U2 R' U' R U' R'
Sunesson: L' U' L U' L' U2 L
Anti-Sunesson: L' U2 L U L' U L
Super-Sune: R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'
Super-Sunesson: L' U' L U' L' U L U' L' U2 L
Super-Anti-Sune: R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R'
Super-Anti-Sunesson: L' U2 L U L' U' L U L' U L

Super is also called Double some times.
But I don't think this has got a name: R' U2 R U R' U R

Could someone please clarify how to pronounce it, then? I always thought of it as "su-ne", until I heard someone (must've been in a video) call it "soon". The reason I thought of it as "su-ne" is for two reasons: firstly, being in New Zealand, we are exposed to a lot of Maori language, and that is how it would be pronounced in Maori. The second reason is because I learnt Japanese for 5 years, and of course, it is pronounced the same way.

 

[Lofty]

I don't know why but I have always pronounced it "su(rhymes with zoo)-knee" is that how you are saying it Dene?
So you read japanese? Can you read all the Japanese cubers blogs and stuff?? lucky!
Anyway my average of both is like .8 or.9

 

[Dene]

No, not like that. I say it like "Soo" with a quick "oo", then "neh". At least, that is the most literal way I can put it. so, "Soo-neh". And no, I can't read their blogs, lol. I know around 200 kanji I guess, out of 5000+. I can make out random symbols, and maybe a sentence or two, but I don't know nearly enough vocabulary to make out anything really.

 

[KConny]

It can't be said correct with english phonetics.

Sune's pronounced as "Soon-eh".

Using English to explain how to pronounce a very different language doesn't make any sense to me.

I pronounce Sune as [sune] (IPA).

 

[Sin-H]

Averages of 12 for:
Sune: 00.71 seconds (with a best time of 0.64 and a worst time of 0.90; SD 00.04)

Anti-Sune: 00.72 seconds (with a best time of 00.64 and a worst time of 0.86; SD 00.05)

The best way to describe the sound of "Sune" in english would be...

First part: "Su" pronounce as in the english word "soon" but remove the "n".
Second part: "ne" pronounce as in the english word "nerd" but remove the "rd".

I also use the triplesune for one of my COLL cases: R U R' U R U' R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'

I'm not sure if I agree with you. Isn't the 'Su'-part sounding more like the vowel in 'you'.

Also the 'e' in 'ne' is short, like the first 'e' in 'present'.

How is the vowel in "you" different from the vowel in "soon"? Both are [u:].

Second part: "ne" pronounce as in the english word "nerd" but remove the "rd".

Also the 'e' in 'ne' is short, like the first 'e' in 'present'.

The vowel in "nerd" is not pronounced as [e] at all, so I think it's a very bad example.

OK, maybe it's just me having a weird accent.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

My LL sucks, but that's no secret.

Owning it up with a 1.1 Sune and a 0.8 Anti-Sune. :|

But we all know it's about the F2L.

Maybe that was just me thinking that Sune in danish and swedish sounded the same. The "ne" in nerd has the correct sound in my ears.

 

[Dene]

Oh well, thanks to Mr. Pochamnn I now know how to pronounce it. It is similar to what I thought it was.

 

[fanwuq]

I got 1.25 antisune, 1.43 sune. My hands are too slow.

 

[Sin-H]

So could you say it's like "sooner" without the "r"?

 

[Johannes91]

So could you say it's like "sooner" without the "r"?

AFAICT, the last vowel in "Sune" is [e], but the last vowel in "sooner" is [ə] (Wiktionary link).
